This course has two main goals: [1] To provide an introduction to recent work in syntactic theory (more particularly to how the syntactic component operates within the model of grammar assumed in recent work within the framework of Chomsky’s Minimalist Program). [2] To provide an explicit description of a range of phenomena in English syntax, making use of minimalist concepts and assumptions as far as possible – while avoiding excessive technical complexity. It is intended to be suitable both for people with only minimal grammatical knowledge, and for those who have already done quite a bit of syntax but want to know something (more) about Minimalism.
Chomsky's characterization of human language consists of two major insights: it is a "biological" entity, and it operates in a "computational/generative" manner (i.e., it is precise and formally explicit). The focus of this course is the computational/generative aspect of the Chomskyan approach to linguistics. If you would like to know more about the biological aspect (which would give you a wider perspective of linguistics), please consider sitting in on my undergraduate course "Language & the Human Mind," which is offered every Fall semester.
